ALDI Essential Health Slim & Trim

They are okay. Nothing to write home about. They don't really keep me very full for long. But they are alright if you are on a budget. I go between these and slimfast shakes from chemist warehouse that workout to be cheaper and you get an intire box instead of individual packets. The sugar content is high. Not really good if you are trying to lose… Read more

weight. I prefer sweetener. They taste good, but that's probably because of the sugar content. Can't say I have lost weight yet. It's only been afew weeks. Hard to tell if it's just the shakes because losing weight has to combine diet and exercise also. Will come back and update if I I've lost anything more then usual.

It taste good but too much sugar is not good if your goal is to lose weight – I believe just one a day is ok because it has too much sugar at one time. I wouldn't recommend it for people with diabetes or trying to lose weight. I bought it from Aldi in Albury NSW

Awesome product – I started using these shakes after hearing about Jackie’s story. I’ve tried many shakes and Aldi’s tick all boxes on price, taste and satiety. They don’t upset my stomach like other whey based ones do, nor do they have artificial sweetners. They keep me full, I have energy and feel better mentally. I’m not concerned with the higher carb load as… Read more

it’s fructose. The body processes fructose differently. I’ve bought a portable ninja so can have a creamy shake when I’m on the road working. Seeing results 7.8kg down since 1 March. Reached first target of 54kg. 4kg to go. It’s a huge thumbs up for me. Thankyou Aldi. An update 3/8. Lost another 3.2kg and almost there. I’m very happy with this product. An update 3/9. I reached my target of 48kg as I’m short so this is my healthy weight. I’ve lost total of 15kg and I’ll keep using the Aldi shakes for one meal on maintenance. Very grateful to Aldi. These shakes have kept me satiated, curbed the sweet cravings and provided ongoing energy and improvement in mental health at an affordable cost.

These Shakes taste great – I have been on these shakes for 1 week now. So far, I've had the Vanilla & the Coffee shakes. They taste absolutely delicious and they keep me full and satisfied for most of the day. I've been replacing 1 or 2 meals a day with the shakes and having a light meal at dinner consisting of some sort of meat, mixed steamed vegetables and a salad. Prior… Read more

to starting the shakes, I weighed 105.7kg. In my first week on the shakes, I have lost 4.5kg. WOW!!! I am extremely happy. I have quite a lot more weight to lose, but with the help of the shakes and a sensible eating plan and some exercise, I'm looking forward to seeing the new me in the not so distant future. Sunday 30/05/2021: I'm 3 and a half weeks into my weight loss journey & I'm super proud to report that with the shakes & a sensible eating plan and some exercise, I've now lost 7.5kg. I have reached my 1st goal in my weight loss journey & after 3 & a half weeks I am now under 100kg. From 105.7kg 3 & a half weeks ago, I am now 98.2 kg. I can honestly say, these shakes really do work along with a healthy eating plan & exercise, they are really helping me to keep motivated and keep on losing weight, so that I can be a healthier version of myself. Sunday 13/06/2021: I'm 5 and a half weeks into my weight loss journey and I'm extremely happy to report that I've reached my 2nd milestone into my weight loss goals. To date I've now lost 10.2kg and already feeling a huge improvement. My arthritis in my knees is getting better which means I'm able to do a lot more walking and not have pain afterwards. I'm beginning to feel a lot more energetic which in turn makes me more motivated to exercise more. It's a win-win for me. I'm looking forward to seeing a new me very soon. I'd like to lose another 30kg, so I'm sure with a lot of continued wheel power I WILL achieve my ultimate goal. But for now, it's the small achievable goals that I look forward to each week & I look forward to sharing my achievements with you. Friday 27th August 2021: I'm now almost 4 months into my weight loss journey and I'm absolutely pleased to report that I have now lost 22.9kg and I feel fantastic!!! I feel so energetic and even more motivated than ever before to keep up with my exercise and weight loss. It's also a real benefit to my health as my arthritis in my knees isn't as painful, which makes it so much easier & bearable for me to exercise. My blood pressure has also come back down which I am happy about because it means I don't have to take medication to reduce my blood pressure. I still stick to my strict sensible eating plan where I have 1 shake for breakfast in the morning which keeps me full and satisfied for most of the day and I drink water throughout the day and for dinner I have a light meal with a glass of water. I'm a little over half way to my goal weight and I'm really looking forward to seeing the new me soon.

Sunday 2nd January 2022: I've now been on the Aldi Slim & Trim shakes for 8 months and I've now lost 42kg. I've almost reached my 1st goal. When I first started on the shakes I was 105.7kg and now 8 months later I am 63.5kg and almost at my 1st goal. My next challenge once I lose a few more kilos will be to maintain my new weight and keep the weight off for good. I feel absolutely fantastic and proud of myself that even over the Christmas/New Year period even though I've had a little treat here and there, I've managed to keep on losing weight during the festive season. I will definitely continue having the Aldi Slim and Trim Shakes once I reach my goal weight just to help me maintain my weight loss and help prevent me from putting the weight back on and undoing the fantastic work that I've achieved over the past 8 months.

My Daily Go-To for my weight loss journey – I recently started on these shakes (Coffee is my Favourite, Although I also use the Vanilla and Chocolate shakes. 3 months ago, I was 181kg and couldn't seem to shift my weight. By chance after shopping in Aldi I came across the shakes and bought a dozen of them in coffee, Vanilla and chocolate. I had nothing to lose (except a lot of… Read more ·  1

weight!!) So I set to replacing my lunch with a shake followed by a light meal at night (due to the nature of my lifestyle and work, I have been eating the Frozen meals also from Aldi). On Monday nights I have a small salad and if I ever feel hungry I just have another shake. In January I was 159kg (22kg weight loss). And over the course of 14 days I have shed a further 7kg since having one 24 hour period a week of just shakes (Friday night through to Saturday night, followed by a small omelette on Sunday for breakfast). This product has well and truly changed my life for the better!! Ps, I expected minor weight loss, but so far 29kg I'm over the moon!!! Not to mention the new burst of energy!!!

Recommended – Nice flavours. I've tried all of them and the coffee flavour is my favourite. I've started to notice that I'm getting full easier. I've noticed that I'm getting more energy. As I'm to heavy for domestic scales it's hard to keep track of my weight. I entend to use these long term. Show details

Tasty – I love the coffee one too & also have a hard time sourcing it on the Gold Coast. The only one I don’t really like is the strawberry flavour. My preference is coffee, vanilla then chocolate, I sometimes add banana to the vanilla or chocolate. For me the main downfall is the sugar content but I find they do work as a meal replacement & are inexpensive. Show details

A little too sweet – I had put on around 5kilos after Cancer treatment & for over 4years have been battling to get the weight off, finally I tried the Aldi shakes chocolate & strawberry & they have started to work losing 1kilo in the first week my only problem is I find them very sweet is there anyway of decreasing the sweetness.

Not for me – I never lost any weight, I had these for a few months and nothing not 1kg off. I started with 2 a day a was hungry still, no sugar cravings but by dinner time I was eating a bigger meal cause I was so hungry. I tried adding berries and different fruit but still didn't work. I wasn't very big to start with but found I need to try something else, I reduce my current weight. Show details

Taste is great but very high in carbs – I have only had one so far and I think the taste is much better than the [Brand Removed] and the [Brand Removed] . However I was a bit concerned about weight loss when the Aldi is very high in carbs and sugar and lower in protein than the others. Eg Aldi Protein 18.2 g Bondi 30g Cole’s 30.2 g Aldi Carbs 25.2 g Bondi 2.6 g Coles 2.4 Aldi Sugars… Read more

23.4 Bondi less than 0.1 Coles 1.7 Because I don’t eat fast food or many sweets and eat a whole food diet but regardless cannot shift 5 to 6 kilos whenever I do I want to reduce carbs and increase protein. I would love to stick with Aldi as they are so delicious but I think the sugar and carbs may delay my weight loss progress. I would value any other opinions on this.

COFFEE flavour is rarely available – Coffee flavour is my choice however I can rarely get them from my local store. Have tried other stores & they are sold out too. Very frustrated thus the 1 star review. The coffee flavour is in a box of 18 with half chocolate (9 coffee & 9 chocolate). New stock came in and out of around 8 coffee/chocolate boxes there were only 4 sachets of coffee… Read more

left. Staff said there is nothing that they can do as Aldi will not restock until all the chocolate are sold. Hopefully I'll find out who the manufacturer is and see if it is sold under a different brand name.

No more migraines! – Absolutely LOVE these shakes especially the chocolate flavour. I've found that not only am I less hungry, I don't get migraines anymore! I'm mentally sharp all throughout the work day at the office since I've drank this shake for breakfast & dinner... Highly Recommend! Show details

My favourite chocolate meal replacement shake – I have tried a variety of brands of meal replacements but can't go past the Aldi brand for the chocolate and vanilla. They shake well (I don't get lumps like I do with some other brands) and they are tasty and filling. I also like the fact that this shake is rich in calcium (one shake contains 50% of recommended daily requirements for calcium).… Read more

And this is important for someone on the wrong side of menopause.

It is a shame our local Aldi's seems to rarely have any flavours on the shelf except for coffee. And that is the downside with Aldi - supply is not as reliable as it is with other brands.

i enjoy this product, and it keeps me full until afternoon – i really like these shakes. i have one in the morning and it keeps me full until afternoon. i only like the coffee, and i feel the company needs to increase the amount of this flavour as there is always a shortage of this flavour. the other flavours are not as popular in my opinion. i have tried all the flavours and only enjoy the coffee. Show details

Love the coffee shake – Really enjoy the taste of these shakes. The only problem is trying to get them, they come in a mixed box with chocolate and staff can't reorder until chocolate has gone. Show details

Delicious – I love that these have no disgusting artificial sweeteners. They use skim milk powder, which doesn't upset my stomach like the whey protein. If you make it with milk it tastes like a McDonalds strawberry thickshake.

So easy. Amazed at the results – Started using the slim & trim shakes 6 weeks ago mainly for breakfast about 5 out of 7 days a week. Mixing half the water quantity with the powder until smooth paste then adding the rest of the water for no lumps. I’ve lost 5kg ! Am now 77kg and on my way to losing another 5kg which will be my ideal weight. Very happy with this product. Love the chocolate one too. Show details

Excellent value , excellent taste . Mixes easily – Excellent coffee flavour without being sweet . Good texture and mixed easily in a shaker. Very good value for money . Will try the chocolate next . Show details

Love them addicted – Started using them in 2020 lost 18 kl in 6 months. Felt like a new person. I was never hungry add a sandwich thin or apple, twice a day. Used ever since, now only 4 days a week and enjoy eating out on weekends have never gained the weight back. Everyone at work saw my weight loss 6 people also started them and lost weight. Great product.

Lumps – The formula has been changed, not more good product, doesn't melt properly , to tick if mix with milk. I read now you advise to mix only with water, before with old formula was optional mix with milk and was perfect for add extra protein. The new formula is expensive, not good flavour and not a good product. I can find more cheap shakes around. Show details

Old formula was amazing, new formula is awful – The 2 star review is for the new formula. I’d give the old formula a 5 star though. I’m so disappointed with the new formula for the chocolate flavour. The old formula was my absolutely favourite meal replacement shake, I always have a hard time finding meal replacement and protein shakes that don’t taste gross and this one was my absolutely… Read more

favourite. I had it once or twice almost every week on the days I didn’t have time for breakfast but the new formula is not only not as good as the old one, it’s honestly disgusting, it’s thick and syrupy and no longer tastes like chocolate. Please go back to the old formula, I don’t understand why anyone thought it was a good idea to change it.

Doing what it’s meant to do – I like the strawberry flavour the best. Keeps me full and I’m eating less which other shakes I’ve tried in the past didn’t do. Really enjoying. Show details

Just started on the Slim and Trim - Coffee – Love the Coffee flavour and will try the chocolate just for a change. Very happy with the product and will continue to use it. Show details

I don't like the new formula – I have used the chocolate flavour for a couple of years and really enjoyed the unique, nearly Milo flavour. The recent change is now more powdery, is difficult to fully mix in a shaker and has a thick, gluggy texture. Please go back to the previous chocolate formula. Show details

I tried all of the flavours for my light dinner recently, it taste good and mixed well. Price is $2.49 now – I do enjoy the taste and it actually better than my expectation. Will keep use them for my light dinner. Show details

Change of formula to the Shakes and disappointed – I used to have an Aldi meal replacement shake every morning, But I’ve noticed the shakes have now been changed! They don't mix well, theres always chunks in them, they taste different, very bland I’m so annoyed because I loved these! I’ve tried every flavour hoping one might still be the old formula but they are not. I can’t stomach these its such a shame. Please bring the old shake’s/formula back! Show details
